I’ll be honest, one of the reasons I feel like I can’t properly immerse myself in this forum is down to how public it is. Along with the fact i have never felt comfortable in a group of people, and essentially that’s just what this place is. Years ago yahoo chat and msn worked for me, the general asl gave you a clue who you might click with, and more often than not you’d start a private chat. Eventually you’d click with someone (or a few people) and form an online friendship. I miss that! 

So I’m putting myself out there, if anyone feels similar, message me. I don’t bite, we might not click, we might well click, who knows.

    I heard the above phrase as the central point of your post.  I hope I have understood correctly.

    Unfortunately, I am not comfortable using the message process on this current incarnation of our Forum. 

    Maybe on experience of our Community's new Forum (scheduled to launch later this year) I might review that adjudication.

    At the risk of further frustrating you (due to communication via my preferred post, instead of your preferred message); I at least wish to offer to you: "hello" and "welcome".
